Bruce Simon from IceBergRadio issues the following report regarding to legendary British rock band, Police.

No one's going on the record just yet, but there's been increased chatter lately about a possible reunion for the Police. A rumor in the U.K. says that singer-bassist Sting, guitarist Andy Summers, and drummer Stewart Copeland will join forces to mark the band's 30th anniversary. Shows could take place in the U.K. this summer, and an announcement could be coming very soon.

The band split up in 1984, and they've only played together a few times since, including three dates on Amnesty International's Conspiracy Of Hope tour in 1986; at Sting's wedding to Trudie Styler in 1992; and at the group's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2003.

Summers told us that he and Copeland are willing, but that it's up to Sting: "It's playing itself out the way it's supposed to. Sting will have to make that decision, you know? I mean, Stewart and I will certainly do it. For my part, I cannot sit around waiting for the phone to ring -- I have to get on with the things that I'm doing in my own life, you know? Otherwise, you're just sort of bathing in nostalgia and wishing for something that may or may never happen. If it happens, of course, we will dust off the old guitars and off we go, you know?"

Diamond Head's guitarist, Brian Tatler has announced the following updates:

"So here we all are. 2007, what will it bring? Will the alcohol-fuelled promises we made on December 31st, 2006 be kept and followed religiously or are they already a now sober memory? Have your 'I'll never drink again' pledges disappeared with the first hair of the dog medicinal remedy? Hey we're only human, oh and by the Happy New Year to all of you!

"What we have been aware of within the band is the continual loyalty and unwavering support for all things DIAMOND HEAD. We do read your mail and under the cover of darkness with full camouflage face paint flick through your forum posts! It always helps to know that people across the globe both fans of old and new find what we do interesting. With this in mind we will attempt to keep you more abreast of what we are up to with a kind of journal come diary that we promise (there's that word again!) to update on a regular basis, starting with a brief resume of where we are at with errm 'stuff'…

"The new album has been a learning curve for all of us. With Karl [Wilcox, drums] living more than a 20-minute bus ride away it was decided early on that he would prepare his parts in the hot Californian sun while the rest of us share our cold and flu symptoms in good old (damp) Blighty. After many hours split between Nick's [Tart, vocals], Abbz' [guitar] and my home studios we finally had some demos that Karl could work on in the hot Californian sunshine (not that we are envious, you understand, as we too enjoyed some glorious sunshine… it was a Tuesday!!!) so began the passing of files down the Internet. Yes, we liked that drum fill; no, Karl didn't like that middle 8!

"Not until we made our base at a studio in the quiet and picturesque countryside of Evesham overlooking Stella McCartney's modest two up two down residence were we able to see the jigsaw start to take shape with our intrepid engineer Shirt [Dave Nicholls], who has added the magic dust to our endeavors and is a source of much guidance and generally a really nice bloke.

"The recording and mixing should be completed by the middle of February. In the meantime, our friends at Banned Produxions have been approached to film some of the final days of recording, which, if all goes well, you will get to see as soon as [possible]. We are now in discussions about a promo (not porno) video for one of the new tracks. More when we have decided what toon to expose to the magic of vision!

"As you can see from the gig guide, we have now started to commit to live dates more should be added as soon as. We are all excited about the new album and can't wait to air the new songs out on the road."
